Optical Illusion
Tuesday, 9th August 2005 by Alex Turnbull
This isn't really an optical illusion, just an image mismatch on highway I-80 between Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska, but it looks really freaky! It makes my head hurt.
Thanks to Michelle, and apologies to Joe, who doesn't like weirdness.

It looks like the truck to the southwest of the split is going to hit the car to the northeast of the split. Look Out!!!
Here’s another example, that caused a major misalignment in Phoenix: View Placemark
The one above is just crazy.
On the one pooms mentioned, if you go right there are some really cool ghost planes in a major airport mismatch, and further right the mismatch makes for a very cool looking fuzzy strip through the middle of a large, full parking lot. If you go still further right, you will get to one of the original Missed Bridges.
that misalignment goes on for miles and miles. Look what I found way off to the east: View Placemark
Yes, and slightly to the east of that, is another case of mismatched roads: View Placemark I think they must have used an automatical algorithm for matching the images, and it made the two mistakes that I’ve posted, resulting in a major misalignment.
it is really freaky. google map always have the error.
Looks like this one has been fixed! (Probably quite a while ago, going by the date of the last comment)
